This popular and poignant event is a companion to our Living Well issue. This issue is living proof that living well after diagnosis is available to all of us. We asked our writers—the ones currently living with no evidence of disease as well as the ones learning to live alongside metastatic disease—to share their stories of transformation from diagnosis toward living deeply, beautifully and fully inspite of cancer. And they answered! With the essays, poems, and gorgeous photographs that allow us to vicariously walk a day in their shoes.
Be sure to grab your own copy of the issue to follow along! Scroll down to see the night’s readers.
